Bearpaw Outfitters offer guided and unguided hunts from their Washington hunting lodge. Hunt some of the best private ranch hunting leases and mountain hotspots in eastern Washington. Bearpaw Outfitters have outfitted hunters for over 30 years in this area so they know the best areas for hunting all the various game species.     Location and Terrain Based near Colville, a small town in Northeast Washington close to Idaho and British Columbia, Bearpaw Outfitters are located right in the heart of Washington’s most productive game country. This area is consistently the top producing whitetail deer, bear, moose, cougar, turkey, and grouse hunting area in the entire state. This is simply great game country.  The terrain includes forested rolling mountains and fertile valley farmlands. There are good proportions of evergreen forests, logging cuts, natural openings, and croplands. This area is not as rugged as most other western areas which makes it more enjoyable for many hunters.   Hunting Methods Hunters use stands or blinds near game trails, alfalfa fields, feeding areas, waterholes, and logging cuts. Other effective methods include glassing, spot & stalking, short brush drives, and driving mountain logging roads.    Physical Condition Your physical condition is not that important. Anyone can enjoy a high degree of success regardless of their physical condition because the terrain is mild and the best hunting methods for most species involve sitting and glassing.   Hunting Areas Private Ranches:  The hunting leases range in size up to 2500 acres and offer excellent hunting with high success rates. These hunting leases are perfect for hunters with the patience to sit and watch feeding areas. Limited hunting is allowed on each property in order to maintain quality. Mountain Hunts:  Numerous mountain locations offer some of the best trophy hunting in Washington. There's not as many animals per square mile in the Mountains as on the Ranches, but the trophy potential is some of the best in the northwest. These Mountain Hunts are ideal for hunters who like to cover a lot of country when hunting.   The Outfitters Dale was born and raised in Northeast Washington and his wife Tara has lived in Washington since childhood. In 1977 Dale started guiding hunters and since then Dale and Tara have slowly expanded their outfitting business. With 30 years of outfitting experience in NE Washington, Dale, Tara, and their family have endured the test of time. The Denney Family and their crew of experienced guides have outfitted hunters from around the world, of all ages and backgrounds.
